#PinasarapNaGulay (4) – Sigarilyas At Kalabasa Sa Gata

Are you done with your weekly menu? I am and ready to go hunting for my ingredients for this week’s daily dishes.

Though vegetables are pricey these days, there are still so many vegetable varieties that we can serve. I tried the sigarilyas (winged beans) and squash cooked in coconut milk last time and we all loved it. The squash tasted sweet and the sigarilyas crunchy- the perfect mixture of texture and coconutty taste 😁

Trying to add more eye-friendly veggies for my youngest daughter and me and hubby because we have blurred eyesight already (so sad) but it’s never too late to eat healthily.

Ingredients:

1/4 kg winged beans – sliced into small pieces
1/4 medium-sized squash – cubed
1 medium-sized onion – sliced
2 tbsp cooking oil
1/2 cup broth or if you have none, you can just use water
1 cup coconut cream
salt and pepper to taste

How to cook:
1. Saute winged beans and squash with onions using the cooking oil.
2. Add broth and let simmer for five minutes in low heat.
3. Add the coconut cream and cook for 10 minutes or until the squash softened.
4. Season with salt and pepper.

Sigarilyas or winged beans are packed with all the good vitamins and minerals that you can think of : Vitamin C, A, Folate, rich in protein, calcium, and healthy fat.

Squash is very popular as a beta-carotene champion. Aside from this, it’s also loaded with B vitamins thiamin and vitamin B6, E, magnesium, potassium, and iron.

Vegetables are really amazing, right?
